Center Foundation and Los Angeles Galaxy Foundation to make a difference\u00a0at the 10th Annual Treats-n-Suites Halloween Bash. Los Angeles sports teams, businesses, and service organizations\u00a0decorated luxury suites and provided fun activities for local youth. Participants included the Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles\u00a0Galaxy, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), YMCA, Playworks SoCal, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-76a8abf6-934e-43e1-673f-b68d254bcb9c\">The Treats-n-Suites Halloween Bash provided\u00a0families with an opportunity to enjoy Halloween-themed, family-oriented activities in a safe and playful environment. Children participated in trick-or-treating, carnival games, hayrides, and a costume parade featuring a player from the LA Galaxy. <\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-76a8abf6-934e-43e1-673f-b68d254bcb9c\">More than 1,000 trick-or-treaters and their families were greeted by 28 enthusiastic AmeriCorps members, who gave\u00a0high-fives and pumped up the crowd. AmeriCorps members joined children in games of foursquare, jump rope, and switch. They also modeled positive behavior by encouraging high-fives, &#8220;good job, nice tries,&#8221; and conflict resolution strategies like ro-sham-bo (rock, paper, scissors).\u00a0The members also\u00a0facilitated the costume parade\u00a0and provide an experience that the kids will not forget.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-76a8abf6-934e-43e1-673f-b68d254bcb9c\">High-five to the Playworks SoCal AmeriCorps members!
